From Barbara West To Obama's 2001 Interview

Last week, the Obama campaign received their toughest blows but those blows didn't come from the McCain campaign. They came from the release of their own words and actions! First, their was Obama's "spread the wealth" answer to Joe The Plumber. Second, was the Obama campaign's intrusive actions against Joe The Plumber after discovering that voters were displeased with Obama's "spread the wealth" statement. Then came ACORN. But all these things were merely "the beginning of sorrows" for the Obama camp. The first serious blow came during an interview with Joe Biden made by Barbara West of Florida. It wasn't the questions of socialism that dealt the blow, but Joe Biden's evasive and arrogant way of handling them. Afterwards, the Obama camp blacklisted the Florida network for daring to ask such questions all while screaming from the mountain tops that Obama was not a socialist. Then, less than 24 hours after the interview, a taped interview with Barack Obama from 2001 surfaced. In the interview, Obama described the U.S. Constitution as a document of "negative liberties" which merely prohibited government instead of forcing government to "spread the wealth". In the interview, he also described the civil rights movement as a failure since it didn't force "redistributive change". Snooper and I went over the details of these events while giving commentary and analysis. We played clips from both interviews as well as other interviews to show the futility of the Obama team's response. Originally recorded on October 27 and 28, 2008.
